Sauteed Brussel Sprouts

Serves: 4-6

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: 10-15 mins

Ingredients


2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
6 pieces of bacon, chopped
1 to 2 tablespoons pine nuts
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions


1. On medium-high heat, add the olive oil to a Mineral B PRO Carbon Steel pan. As soon as the oil is hot and shining, swirl to coat the pan, then add the halved brussels sprouts. Let the sprouts sit completely undisturbed for 5 to 8 minutes, until they develop a dark, tasty, caramelized sear.

2. Add salt and pepper before stirring. Cook until the sprouts are browned all over, about 6 to 8 additional minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
